Making DIY Delicious: A MacGyver Movie!

And there was me thinking that MacGyver was just another Simpsons fantasy front-man. Like Troy McClure with more action and less stupid.

But apparently it was a real show – like on TV and everything.

MacGyver is just the kind of thrifty hero we need in a recession. Instead of flashing the fancy new Jaguar and top gadgetry of Bond, MacGyver, likes to keep it real, sticky-backed-plastic style. Imagine if Bear Grylls was brought up on a strict diet of Blue Peter crafting, injected with the sleuthing spy skills of Jason Bourne and adorned with the mother of all mullets. He even prefers non-violent conflict resolution and never carries a gun. Yes, the man is quite literally sex on legs. Patti and Selma will be pleased.

All the project needs now is a writer; we heard that they initially tried to fashion a candidate out of chewing gum and foil but this incarnation left the project to write Spiderman 4. You just can’t get the staff these days.
